Today,
the Corel Photo team has released the latest update to its photo-processing and
organization software, AfterShot(TM) Pro 2.3. This update adds an
improved Send to External Editor feature that makes it easier than ever to add
AfterShot to a Photoshop-based workflow. For Photoshop CS6 users no longer
eligible for RAW updates from Adobe, AfterShot Pro 2.3 provides a useful,
affordable and subscription-free option to decode the latest RAW camera
profiles.

"With
AfterShot Pro 2.3, we're inviting Photoshop users to add AfterShot to their
photographic workflow and take advantage of the speed and power AfterShot has
to offer," says Greg Wood, Senior Product Director of the Corel Photo
team. "With our improved ability to combine AfterShot Pro and Photoshop in
a professional image workflow, we think this will help even more photographers
discover a faster approach to photo-processing - the AfterShot way!"

AfterShot
Pro 2.3 provides Photoshop CS6 users an alternative way of getting access to
RAW camera profiles, since Adobe Camera Raw updates were cut off earlier this
year. Corel's goal is to help subscript-o-phobes steer clear of monthly
fees, while maintaining access to the latest camera updates.

Why
Choose AfterShot Pro? (Hint: It's more than just RAW performance)

Interest
in alternatives to Lightroom has grown in response to reports of sluggish
performance and slow import speeds, plus long-standing dissatisfaction with
subscription. Offering industry-leading performance, excellent usability, and
supported by Corel's global reach, AfterShot Pro is well positioned to attract
more professional photographers to its subscription-free offering:

*
Cost Savings:
AfterShot Pro costs just $79.99 (even less for a limited time, thanks to a
special 3-day launch celebration sale). A standalone Lightroom license will
cost $149 or, as part of the photography bundle, $10 each month - that's
$119/year, every year.

*
New & Ongoing Camera Support: AfterShot is regularly updated with new
features, fixes and camera support. AfterShot Pro 2.3's external editor
improvements are great news for Photoshop CS6 users who lost ACR updates in
July. Corel has been extremely active since launching AfterShot Pro 2, pushing
out six significant updates and adding support for some of the most popular
cameras on the market today, including several from the FujiFilm X-trans
lineup, plus the recently released Canon 5DS and 5DSR (new in AfterShot Pro
2.3).

*
Available on 3 Major Operating Systems: The AfterShot family is the only major photo
management and post-processing software available on all 3 mainstream operating
systems - Windows, Mac and Linux.

*
Open Plugin SDK:
AfterShot Pro's plug-in SDK provides the only RAW-level plug-in interface in
the industry, while also delivering complete, tightly-integrated access to
AfterShot Pro's fully multi-threaded image pipeline. AfterShot Pro's open
approach has created a community of free photo processing plugins and photo
processing developers. More information about creating plugins is available on
the AfterShot website at: AfterShotPro.com/en/plugins/creating-plugins/.
